Welcome to “well, That’s Show Biz!”. I am your host, Jeremy Freedman, and this is the show that brings you music from Broadway, Movies, and Entertainers along with some anecdotes, information, and commentary all based on a theme.
Today’s show was pre-recorded.
Today is Mother’s Day so this show is about songs about mothers, to mothers, and by mothers.
We are going to open our first set with “Welcome to the 60’s” from the musical Hairspray. We are going to follow that with “Let Mother Vote” from Suffs. Then Lea Salonga sings “I’d Give My Life For You” from Miss Saigon and we will conclude this set with “Motherhood” from the original Broadway production of Hello, Dolly!. Here’s “Welcome to the 60’s” Hairspray.
